selinux: complete the inlining of hashtab functions
Move (most of) the definitions of hashtab_search() and hashtab_insert() to the header file. In combination with the previous patch, this avoids calling the callbacks indirectly by function pointers and allows for better optimization, leading to a drastic performance improvement of these operations. With this patch, I measured a speed up in the following areas (measured on x86_64 F32 VM with 4 CPUs): 1. Policy load (`load_policy`) - takes ~150 ms instead of ~230 ms. 2. `chcon -R unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s0:c381,c519 /tmp/linux-src` where /tmp/linux-src is an extracted linux-5.7 source tarball - takes ~522 ms instead of ~576 ms. This is because of many symtab_search() calls in string_to_context_struct() when there are many categories specified in the context. 3. `stress-ng --msg 1 --msg-ops 10000000` - takes 12.41 s instead of 13.95 s (consumes 18.6 s of kernel CPU time instead of 21.6 s). This is thanks to security_transition_sid() being ~43% faster after this patch.
